There are two great charities doing work for retired players and their families life after football. The Kevin Turner Foundation (which video is really about and concussion suit) and Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund.

The current Bell/Rozelle disability plan is a complete debacle. In 1995 I was rated “80% or more” disabled by NFL Dr. Hugh Unger and he wrote in his examination report that I “must be able to rest frequently on the job.” I was once again denied my disability benefits. NFL Dr. Unger wrote in his Physician’s report that I could do “sedentary” work. I was 42 years old. Dr. Unger is NOT QUALIFIED to make employment decisions. A US Department of Labor audit of the plan would show an unlawful abuse of power. And no voting member of the plan understands disability law and no one is qualified. Here is my experience with the disability plan.
